WANTED IN
An Alleged DefauIter Is Held for
Further Evidence.

Sheriff High, of Carbon county, Wyo.,
arrived in the city Yesterday with a war
rant for the arrest of D. G. Kelso. who is
wanted for the defalcation of 81, 582. 60,
while he was probate Judge and treasurer
of that county. Sheriff High made an
application to Governor Adams for a war
rant and requisition. and Deputy Sheriff
Hollingsworth was given custody OF Nj.
Kelso pending the settlement of the APP
plication. Mr.. Kelso appeared before
the governor yesterday afternoon. and
was represented by Col. Deweese.
Governor Adams refused to recognize
the requisition presented by Sheriff High,
on the ground that there was mo affidavit
to show that Kelso was a fugitive from
Justice and residing in Colorado. Second
that there was no affidavit to show that
THE requsition was asked that the pris-
oner be punished for the commission of a
crlpe and not to enforce a civil remedy"
adding, at sometimes occurs that requi-
sitions are sometimes sent out to squeeze
money out of a man and not to punish
him for a crime committed.
Sheriff High authorized Deputy Hol-
lingsworth to arrest Kelso and hold him
until the proper papers can be got.
The authorities of Wyoming, it is said,
will take further steps to secure the return
of Mr.. Kelso.-Denre Mecs.

Alter MANY Years.

After an absence of ten or eleven years,
the notorious Calamity Jane who
used to figure 50 prominently in police
courts and circles in this city, has again
made her appearance in Cheyenne, but
evidently in a very dilapldated condition,
judging from what is said by those who
have seen her. She was first seen here
on Wednesday Of this week and again on
Thursday, but yesterday, so far as could
be ascertained, she did not show herself
on the streets. Calamity has had a
checkered career, and has Ter years been
well known not only here but at Dead
wood, OAK, and many other towns in the
far West, and it is only a few months ago
that her picture appeared in one of the
New York illustrated police papers.

Our Wealthy Men.

Much has been said in %wspaper of
men who have made large fortunes in
comparatively a few years in various bust
ness industries. Many of these articles
are written by correspondents of promi-
nent newspapers, and copied into others
of lesser note. Correspondents generally
are seldom men of business qualifications
and wrongfully picture these men and
their business as a thing of accident; this
is not the ease with those we have met.
We find that where men have made large
fortunes by their W business talent and
industry they chose with sagacity and
forethought such businesses as would
lead to success when handled with bust
ness judgment. No man has been
brought before the public as an exam
pie of success. both in wealth and magni-
tude of his business (outside Of stock
and railroad mem more prominently than
DR.. c. G. Green. of Woodbury., N. J..
He is at the head of many large business
industries, and yet comparatively a young
man. When the fact that August
Flower, for dyspepsia and liver complaint,
and Boschee's German Syrup, for coughs
and lung troubles. has grown to a won
derful sale in all parts of the world, it
proves that it was not an accident or
spontaneous strike at wealth. His medi-
cines are recognized as valuable and es-
tablished remedies, and the business has
grown gradually and permanently during
the last eighteen years on account not
alone of DR.. Green's abilities as a business
man or his good luck. but on the ac-
tual merits of the two preparations. -

Judge Kuykendall, the city clerk and
ex. oficio assessor, has commenced the
work of making the assessment of taxable
property, both real and personal, within
the city limits, and will prosecute it Wig
orously from this time on until the work
is completed. While the assessment last
year in the city was less than So, 200. 900,
by good rights this year, if it is assessed
at its true value as The LEADER contends
it ought to be, the total valuation of tax
able property in Cheyenne will foot up
more than Sc, 200, 900.

Considerable of a sensation was created
late last night by the report which few
around like wild6re, that two of Col.
Murrin's little boys, together with two of
7. j. Cahill's, had been kidnapped. After
cruising around for some time to find out
what there was In the report, THE LEAD
Err local ascertained that there was no
foundation in the report, hat the boys
we're at home all right, and that the whole
matter grew out of little nonsense to-
gether with the exaggerated statements
ofseveral other small boys who imagined
pretty near all they had to relate about the
matter.

Police Matters.

Judge Lee had quite a large amount of
police business on hand to dispose of yes
terday.
Mary Stanton was broughtin under an
escort. Mary had been a very bad girl in
some respects. She made a vicious as
sault on Mrs. Helen jenkins. and when
Officer Nolan made his appearance she
took refuge in a neighboring room and
crawled under the bed. She was finally
induced to come out of her place Of refuge
but after she had done so she set up a
terrible cutlery and tried to break loose in
order to commit another assault on Mrs.
jenkins, but was promptly hurried away
to the calaboose. Mary plead guilty, and
when last heard of she was making a
c~ommendable effort to raise the $l3 which
the court required her to pay.
May White and Emma Rienhart came
in also to see the court, having been ur-
gently requested to do so by one of the
city officers who carried in his pocket an
official invitation from the Judge to come
and see him.
May, it seems, has for some time been
badly stuck on a hackman who for con-
venience sake will be called Johnnie Green.
Johnnie of late has been paying considera-
BILE attention to a young lady who resides
south of the railroad track. May became
justly and righteously indignant, ~ofcourse,
and procuring a livery rig and taking her
friend Emma along, rode over to the resi-
dence of Johnnie's latest mash" and
plainly told her and her mother that she
was not going to allow any little 'fy-up-
the-creek' to take away her ''feller" from
her. Angry words ensued which finally
ended in a disturbance and breach of the
peace. Both May and Emma laughed
yesterday when arraigned, but plead
guilty and each paid a fine of Sl3, includ-
ing costs.
This however was not destined to be
the end Of the affair, for the White girl
claiming hat she had been assaulted and
beaten by Johnnie Green. made a COM
plant against him for a breach of the
peace, etc. Late in the afternoon Mar
shal Schnitger walked in before Judge
Lee leading Johnnie by the ear (fgurative-
ly speaking), and in answer to the question
of guilty or not guilty ?" said that while
he had not heard the evidence in the case
and could not therefore be entirely sure of
it yet he supposed he was guilty. He
vas fined $l3 and costs and the amount
was promptly paid.
Last and perhaps least, Josie Austin
called in to see the court also. Josie had
been slightly intoxicated-in fact a good
deal intoxicated-and she did not hesitate
to say SO when asked whether she was
guilty or not. Josie was assigned a com
Portable little room in the female depart
ment Of the Schnitger hotel.

The Neatest Women in the
World.

Somebody who has travelled extern.
sively has been talking in a Denver
paper about American women, who
he declares, are the neatest the world
over. AS a rule, they like to be neat
and clean for the comfort OF it, though
they are sometimes found to become
slatterns when placed where they be-
lieve themselves unknown. and there
fore free from criticism. Hegoes on to
say: ''The habit of neatness or it's
opposite is an interesting study in
women. The characteristic natural
ly exists just the same in men, but the
circumstances governing their lives
are such as not bring out this phase
IN such pronounced fashion. Idon't
doubt but that some of the greatest
slatterns on earth are men, but they
are seldom found out, you know. II
you are sufficiently intimate with u
gentleman to gain access to his apart
ment you will soon have very excel
lent method OF judging OF his habits.
II you find his brushes full OF hair and
lint, his towels and soiled clothes
kicking about everywhere, with a
bowl Of dirty water always on his
Washstand, you may easily Judge that
he will go out in the street with grease
spots on his clothes and half soiled
linen on.

Wooden Legs at the South.

Washington letter: 'You see agood
many more wooden legs in the South"
said Congressman Mcmillan, chatting
the other day with your correspond
ent. ''You see good many more
wooden legs in the South than you do
at the North. There are plenty OF
one-legged soldiers in the North, OF
course, but here the Government furn-
ishes them with artificial legs, and
you don't know when you meet a man
whether he has one leg or two. In the
South, however, 1t is different. Our
fellows get no artificial limbs from
Government sources, and are too
poor to buy them for themselves"
'What do they do, then? Go on
crutches?"
I'll tell you what they do. When
they get a rainy day and can spare
the time-for they don't have time
from their other work on sunshiny
davs-they go out to the fence, pull off a
rail, take their Ratchet and drawing
knife and few screws and pieces OF
ibull's hide, and make themselves a
wooden leg. on which they stump
around and do a mans work. I tell
you nobody who has not witnessed
the desperate determination and rug.
ged application of our people in the
South can realize the sturdy hard
handed, hard-sineW and true-hearted
character OF O lr people of this genera.
ton. The work that has been done in
the South since the'wa is something
wonderful. When the war ended there
wasn't fence from Kentucky to Ala
bama-you might say from Kentucky
to the sea and gulf. There wasn't
anything else in particular, either,
except all impoverished but lion
hearted people. They have worked
observation-disclosures we are begin
ming to see the fruits OF it. The for
tunes that are being made in the
South now are marvellous, and they
are the results ofthe lessons and expert,
ences and energies developed in the
twenty years since the close OF the
war. There is another thing, too,
that we have gained more than wealth,
and that is a rising generation full OF
energy and Intelligent vigor. The les
sons OF self-dependence, and energy,
and industry which have been instilled
into them by the examples of their
parents in the past twenty years are
making them O. generation which will
accomplish wonders, and one which
will outstrip that now being reared
IN the North under the enervating
influence Of the wealth accumulated
while we were being made poor.
